BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to improved linearity of an active circuit, and more particularly, to an active circuit having improved linearity using a main circuit unit and an assistant circuit unit.

2. Background of the Related Art

Recently, the reference for the linearity of semiconductor devices is IP3 (3rd Intercept Point). IP3 means that two points meet under the assumption that the fundamental output and the IM3 (3rd Inter-modulation) component continue to increase without being saturated.

At this time, IP3 is classified into IIP3 (Input IP3) and OIP3 (Output IP3). IIP3 is used when IP3 is read from the viewpoint of the input side, and OIP3 is used when IP3 is read from the viewpoint of the output side.

Characteristics regarding the conventional active element will be schematically described with reference to the drawings, and problems thereof will be also described.

FIG. 1 is a graph showing the secondary differential coefficient of the transconductance of a conventional common gate circuit.

The conventional common gate circuit is usually used as a circuit for generating 50 (ohm) being RF input impedance since input resistance can be designed to have 1/gm.

In FIG. 1, a region A and a region B divided and shown.

At this time, the coefficient related to the transistor linearity is gm″ being the secondary differential coefficient of the transconductor. In the region A being a main use region, the value of gm″ has a positive value. The linearity of the circuit becomes low due to the positive value.

FIG. 2 is a graph showing the secondary differential coefficient of the transconductance of a conventional common drain circuit.

The conventional common drain circuit is usually used as a buffer circuit since it has high input impedance and low output resistance.

In FIG. 2, a region A and a region B are divided and shown.

At this time, the coefficient related to the transistor linearity is gm″ being the secondary differential coefficient of the transconductor. In the region A being a main use region, the value of gm″ has a negative value. The linearity of the circuit becomes low due to the negative value.

Further, the linearity of the conventional common drain circuit can be expressed into the following Equation (1).

[Equation 1] IIP3_(SF)=IIP3_(NMOS)·(1+T)^(3/2) Where T=g _(m)·(R _(L) //R _(O))   (1)

As can be seen from Equation 1, if the load impedance is higher, the linearity increases since feedback increases. In the case of a high frequency circuit, however, it is difficult to obtain the linearity since the load impedance is difficult to be higher.

FIG. 6 shows the simulation results of IIP3 between the common drain circuit according to the present invention and the conventional common drain circuit.

From the simulation results of IIP3 of FIG. 6, it can be seen that the common drain circuit having improved linearity according to the present invention has IIP3, which is improved about 10 dB compared to that of the conventional common drain circuit.

That is, in order to improve the linearity, the region B of FIG. 2 is reduced through the addition of the assistant circuit unit according to the present invention.

FIG. 7 shows a single input differential output circuit using the common gate circuit and the common source circuit according to the present invention.

A circuit that changes a single ended input signal as a differential signal can be implemented in various methods.

Of them, a method using an active element employs a common gate circuit and a common source circuit.

At this time, the common gate circuit outputs a signal having the same phase as an input phase, and the common source circuit outputs a signal having-an opposite phase as an input phase.

For the above reason, two input signals are converted into differential signals by means of the circuit so that the single-ended inputs have a phase difference of 180 degree.

In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 7, an assistant circuit unit for offsetting the value gm″ is added to the common gate circuit and the common source circuit, respectively, in order to improve the linearity in the above-described circuit.

As shown in FIG. 7, the single input differential output circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first circuit unit 701 and a second circuit unit 702.

The first circuit unit 701 includes a main circuit unit 703 and an assistant circuit unit 704 each of which consists of a common gate circuit having a first transistor M71 whose width function is W1 and a second transistor M72 whose width function is W2, respectively.

The first and second transistors M71, M72 of the main circuit unit 703 and the assistant circuit unit 704 of the first circuit unit 701 are biased by first and second biases Bias1, Bias2 connected to their gate terminals, thus reducing the secondary differential coefficient of the transconductance. The linearity is thus improved.

The second circuit unit 702 includes a main circuit unit 705 and an assistant circuit unit 706 each of which consists of a common source circuit having a third transistor M73 whose width function is W3 and a fourth transistor M74 whose width function is W4, respectively.

The first and second transistors M71, M72 of the main circuit unit 703 and the assistant circuit unit 703 of the first circuit unit 701 have source terminals connected to a biasing circuit. The third and fourth transistors M73, M74 of the main circuit unit 705 and the assistant circuit unit 706 of the second circuit unit 702 are biased by first and second biases Bias1, Bias2 connected to their gate terminals, reducing the secondary differential coefficient of the transconductance. The linearity is thus improved.

At this time, the relation between the output current and the input voltage of the common gate circuit can be expressed into the following Equation 2, and the relation between the input voltage and the output current of the common source circuit can be expressed into the following Equation 3. [Equation  2] $\begin{matrix} {i_{DS} = {I_{DC} - {\frac{g_{m}}{1!}v_{gs}} + {\frac{g_{m}^{\prime}}{2!}v_{gs}^{2}} - {\frac{g_{m}^{''}}{3!}v_{gs}^{3}} + \ldots}} & (2) \end{matrix}\left\lbrack {{Equation}\quad 3} \right\rbrack$ $\begin{matrix} {i_{DS} = {I_{dc} + {\frac{g_{m}}{1!}v_{gs}} + {\frac{g_{m}^{\prime}}{2!}v_{gs}^{2}} + {\frac{g_{m}^{''}}{3!}v_{gs}^{3}} + \ldots}} & (3) \end{matrix}$

The relation Equation of the differential output can be found using a difference between the Equations 2 and 3. [Equation  4] $\begin{matrix} {i_{{DS}\quad{diff}} = {{\frac{g_{m}}{1!}v_{gs}} + {\frac{g_{m}^{''}}{3!}v_{gs}^{3}} + \ldots}} & (4) \end{matrix}$

As can be seen from Equation 4, the harmonic of the even index disappears, and the linearity of the even index is thus improved. The harmonic of the odd index still disappears, and gm″ has a great influence on IIP3.

In this case, the entire IIP3 can be improved by adding a circuit in which gm″ is offset to the common gate circuit and the common source circuit, respectively.

The output of the first circuit unit 701 has the same phase as that of the input signal. The output of the second circuit unit 702 has a phase difference of 180 degree from the input signal.

The first circuit unit 701 connects the assistant circuit unit 704 having different characteristics to the main circuit unit 703 using the common gate circuit according to the present invention, thus increasing the linearity of the common gate circuit of the circuit. In the same manner as the second circuit unit 702, the assistant circuit unit 706 is used to improve the linearity of the common source circuit. Using the transistor as such is called MGTR (Multiple Gated Transistor).

At this time, description on MGTR is disclosed in the thesis “A New Linearization Technique for MOSFET RF Amplifier Using Multiple Gated Transistors,” IEEE Microwave and Guided Wave Letters, vol. 10, no. 9, pp. 371-373, 2000”. This thesis was posted by the inventor of this application.

As a result, the first circuit unit 701 consisting of the common gate circuit and the second circuit unit 702 consisting of the common source are interconnected, and a circuit having improved linearity is constructed in each circuit unit. Thus, the differential circuit can have improved linearity.
